Salinas Ciclovía 2018

This week we are lucky enough to sit down once again with organizers from Ciclovía Salinas.  This event that originated in Bogotá, Colombia promotes the opening of streets for community residents to enjoy recreational events that promote a healthy body and mind.  The Ciclovía Salinas event is the only one organized and led by students each year!  Listen in to this episode and hear how over a mile long stretch of Alisal Street is opened up and organized by local students for our community to enjoy.

Tortas al 100

This week we talk deliciousness with Orlando from Tortas al 100.  How does one keep their tortas 100 in a town where good food isn't hard to find?  Listen in and find out the care Orlando puts in to making sure the food is straight grub status and the ingredients are always Sunday dinner quality.  Take a listen, go try a torta, and let us know what you think as you Call It What You Will Salinas.

To Carry or Not to Carry

This week an appeals court ruling by a normally liberal court stated that the 2nd amendment did allow for the open carry of firearms.  This set some thoughts off as you will hear in this week's episode.  Gun culture surrounded us growing up in the 80s, from tv to video games. As we got older the nature of that culture evolved to include not just the imaginary, but the real.  It seems like everyday there is another headline about a shooting involving people from all walks of life.  And so we ask ourselves, who gets to carry and who doesn't because while a court may say yes, the headlines show a different story. Listen in and let us know what you think as you Call It What You Will Salinas!

Back in the Saddle

After a long break, we jump back into the craziness that has become our world.  Hear about a local GOP meeting being moved to parts unknown, a right wing youth group starts up with all the things you would expect, a commodore, a Costco food court, and of course a really cool Purple Rain font.  Taking a break from the absurdity of it all, a little summer time reading is discussed as well as Dom officially declaring his summertime album.  Listen in to all this and more as we Call It What You Will Salinas!

Alejandro Chavez, Soledad City Councilmember

It's been a minute, but back with a new episode! Dom sits down to talk with Alejandro Chavez, Soledad City Councilmember. Councilmember Chavez was the past chair of the Transportation Agency for Monterey County (TAMC) and was cool enough to sit down and talk about Measure X and how funds could be more equitably distributed in Monterey County, especially in South Monterey County.
